This month, we congratulate AFTD-Team member and athlete of the month Travis Gause for completing over 730 miles through our Charity Miles initiative in support of AFTD’s mission! Travis uses Charity Miles primarily to track his cycling mileage, while occasionally logging runs through the app as well.

Travis decided to get involved in fundraising for AFTD through the Charity Miles app after learning about FTD through a friend’s awareness-raising efforts. “I first heard about AFTD’s mission through my friend Sabrina who was holding a charity challenge to raise money for a mutual friend’s family member who suffers from FTD. After some research it became apparent that FTD was a disease that receives relatively little public attention. So, I made a goal to hit 1,000 miles for AFTD, not only to help a friend, but also in hopes that I could interest other athletes around me in joining the cause.”

You too can support AFTD on Charity Miles. Just download the app today and select AFTD as the organization you wish to support. Then, double your impact by creating a pledge page to raise awareness and funds for our mission. Follow these simple steps to create a fundraiser on Charity Miles (pdf) and ask your family and friends to support your progress mile-for-mile.
